Ji Yuan was thinking that when he went down the mountain and ensured his life. He wanted to think of a way to ensure his livelihood, and then see if he could treat his eyes, or if he could go to some place and worship the immortals.
Certainly that he wanted to figure out what happened to his body after Lu Shanjun left and what was that flickering phantom of a chess piece about.
Ji Yuan felt that nine out of ten it was related to the previous Lan Ke chess game and maybe, it could even be his key to survival in this world.
The mountain breeze blew, making Ji Yan feel somewhat drowsy as he became slightly relaxed.
He didn't know whether it was a change that he hadn't discovered before or the change occurred after he arrived in this world. Ji Yuan suddenly felt that his ability to withstand pressure was actually quite strong.
...
The group also rested for about fifteen minutes by the stream. After recovering some physical strength, some people helped the four injured to adjust their breath again, they then set off.
This time, they rushed down the mountain in one breath.
In the Daffodil town, a watchman and two men in township uniforms were walking through the silent streets and alleys. One of them held a watchman's clapper, one held a gong, and another held a lantern.
"Dong... dong dong dong~"
The sound of a bamboo clapper was one long dong and three quick dongs.
"It's the fourth watch***~~"
***TLN: Fourth watch is 1:00 to 3:00am, out of five watch.
"Dong... dong dong dong~"
"It's the fourth watch~~"
...
After walking around for a while, they looked at the quiet, secluded street, the three of them tightened their clothes and planned to go back, while chatting.
" I heard that yesterday's morning, several Jianghu people had gone up the mountain."
"For what?"
"It seems that they accepted the county government notice list and went up to Mt Bullhip to kill the tiger."
"What?"
The watchman that held the clapper was a little nervous.
"They dare to enter the mountain at this time? I heard from those old hunters who were selling goods say that the tiger in the mountain is not a simple tiger. It is most likely that the tiger has become a demon, even those old hunters do not dare to stay in the mountains at night."
"Ah, aren't you exaggerating?!"
"I rather believe it!"
As they talked, they felt that the weather was getting colder and their pace quickened.
When they reached the end of the street and were ready to turn, one of them suddenly saw a group of people approaching in the distance. It was Lu Chengfeng and others.
"There's people over there"
When they came a little closer, they saw a big, white tiger pelt and their forehead turned cold.
...
The next day, the information about the evil tiger of Mt Bullhip had been defeated spread from Daffodil town. The Ning'an County Yamen also heard it and immediately dispatched the constables to examine the situation.
Ji Yuan is not back in the information age. This is an age where which wealthy person taking a concubine is a great gossip, now suddenly there are heroes exterminating man-eating tigers when there's still rumor spreading about the man-eating tiger of Mt Bullhip is a tiger demon, wouldn't the heat still be great?
